Seven HillS Birdwatchers

Seven Hills Birdwatchers (SHB)

SHB is an active bird watching club whose primary goal is to have fun learning and watching birds in our area.  SHB takes from 12 to 15 fieldtrips each year throughout northwest Georgia.

 At present we have 50 members on the email list.  If you would like to be a part of the list contact me by email and I will be happy to add you.

FIELD TRIP INFO

EMAIL ME FOR DETAILS

I’ll be sending out emails weekly about trips.

Do not be surprised about next day trips listed on the email.  The migrants do not always let me know a week in advance!

Speaking and Classes

SHB was born from Bird Watching classes I taught at Berry College.  Those classes are no longer available, but I do speak on birds and things for local groups.  My most recent engagement was at the Gordon County Master Gardner’s Club.  I spoke on spring migration on March 31.  My only fee is lots of snacks, especially chocolate!
